A normal friendship bracelet pattern will look like the one shown above, but now you know all the knots to do something like this! I suggest starting ...

I learned how to make friendship bracelets a couple years ago. The first thing that I learned was that there wasn't just one kind of knot to make a friendship bracelet, there were 4 different kinds. In this Instructable I will show you how to do the four different kinds of knots and what they will look like on a friendship bracelet pattern.

Step 1:

The first thing you want to do is gather some supplies. You will need tape or a clipboard, some embroidery floss or yarn of two different colors (remember this is just for practice so I recommend using yarn), some scissors, a ruler, and yourself (or another person who can do the work for you).

Step 2:

Now take the first yarn and cut a piece about 8 inches long. Do the same thing to the other color.

Step 3:

Next, put the two strings together and tie them together into a normal knot (overhand knot).

Step 4:

Now we tape the top part (the part with the knot) down to a table or clip it onto the clipboard.

Step 5:

Now, the first knot I'm going to show you is called the forward knot. Take your FIRST string and put it OVER the second string so that it makes a 4.

Step 6:

Now, take the tail and tuck it UNDER the second string. Pull the knot tight. This makes half a knot.

Step 7:

Now do steps 5 and 6 one more time so that you have done it a total of two times (use the same string you used the first time just pull it over). This makes one full forward knot.

Step 8:

On a pattern the forward knot will look like the images shown.

Step 9:

Next, either tape that knot down or pull it up on the clipboard and pretend that it doesn't exist (it was exiled D:). You also have the option of undoing the knot if you would like.
